Rufus (adjutant)

Rufus was the adjutant to the Roman general Nero Claudius Drusus during his campaigns in Germania during the 10s BC. In 9 BC, when Drusus was mortally injured in a fall from his horse, Rufus saw to it that he was treated by doctors, but Drusus' conditions worsened under the care of Livia's personal physician, and he died of gangrene.
